Middlesbrough beat Swansea by 2-1, lost 2-1 against Watford, before defeating Sunderland 1-0. Middlesbrough won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Championship, where they also drew twice and went undefeated. They scored nine goals and conceded five times.
Middlesbrough entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.
In their previous three games, Cardiff drew 0-0 with Preston, then lost 1-2 against Luton and 2-0 against Millwall. In their last six Championship away matches, Cardiff failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn one and lost four, scoring two while also conceding eight times.
A mid-table finish seemed likely for Cardiff but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.
Cardiff and Middlesbrough are almost always cautious, when going toe-to-toe with each other, which makes under 2.5 goals the value bet on Tuesday.
